City chief executive Mark Ashton said: “It’s the first time the club has reached this stage of the competition in 28 years and everyone has played their part in our exciting Carabao Cup run.

“From the outset, we wanted to ensure as many of our loyal supporters as possible get the chance to get their hands on a ticket for a visit of Manchester United to Ashton Gate.

“That is why we’ve taken the decision to not fill the whole of the Atyeo Stand with away fans, even though it would have led to a bigger overall attendance. By doing so, we will be able to offer an extra 1,100 tickets to home fans.”

“In addition, we’ve looked to maximise capacity in the South Stand as much as possible, without affecting the fantastic atmosphere already being produced on a weekly basis by our singing section."
